After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

In fact, not only Qi Minsong and the others could guess the Fifth Prince's thoughts, even Chu Xi and Tang Yuhuai could guess a little. He simply wanted to use his own confidants and did not trust anyone else.

The struggles among the princes are always like this. As long as there is a vacant position, they will try their best to cram their own people in, regardless of the person's ability or whether he can shoulder the responsibilities that come with the position.

Chu Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. The struggle for the throne has always been so cruel throughout history.

It’s just that the superiors throughout history always seem to be like this... indifferent to human life, which is really disgusting.

"No matter how they fight, I'm leaving this man to you, and I'll also be handling the negotiations with them."

Tang Yuhuai, "Where are you going?"

"I want to rest." Chu Xi felt that the battle had lasted too long and he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

I really want to rest.

When Tang Yuhuai heard Chu Xi say this, he didn't refuse anymore and agreed without saying a word.

Negotiation is not his forte, but there are many people in Xi'an. Even if he is not good at this, he can always ask others for advice!

Like Han Yaojun, his second uncle, they should have some experience in negotiation. Even if Rong Qingzhu is not very capable, he can still be pulled out to fill in the gaps.

Chu Xiong returned to his residence, but did not fall down to sleep as she said. Instead, he wrote a letter and sent it back to Beijing by pigeon.

The current situation in the capital is probably not much better than the previous situation in Xi'an, which was surrounded by enemies on all sides!

There was also the Seventh Prince, who had attended the funeral in the capital and had not yet left, watching with eager eyes.

In addition, Zhou Yichen’s uncles, that is, the princes and dukes in various fiefdoms, may also have to come to Beijing to attend the funeral.

The temptation of the throne is not only for Emperor Tianwu's descendants, but also for Emperor Tianwu's brothers. These princes and nobles who had been defeated by him now have this opportunity and naturally want to fight for it!

Zhou Yichen's current situation is naturally comparable to that of Xi'an City.

Chu Xi is not so arrogant as to think that he can solve any problem by himself.

She just wanted to know more about the situation in the capital so as to calculate how long it would take for her to return.

When she was sending a letter to the capital, she unexpectedly received a letter from the capital. There was a mark of the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis' Mansion on the grid, which showed that the letter was sent to her.

Chu Er gave the letter to Chu Xi, and Chu Xi opened it and took a look.

The letter was sent by his father, and it described the latest situation in the capital, especially the details after Zhou Yichen ascended the throne.

Chu Xi carefully read the meaning between the lines. What his father meant was that Zhou Yichen’s current situation was a bit bad. His Majesty had just ascended the throne, and the power of the Eighth Prince in the court had been almost cleared out.

However, the power of the Seventh Prince has not yet been dealt with. Therefore, in the battles with Western Chu, Japan, and the northern grasslands, there are always voices in the court that differ from His Majesty's.

Although the Seventh Prince's men have remained on hold for the time being, they are still a hidden danger. As long as the Seventh Prince is still determined to rebel, Zhou Yichen's throne will always be uneasy.

The two princes took this opportunity to propose returning to Beijing to pay homage to the late emperor and to bring back the hostage.

Originally, this request was not too excessive. The two hostages had been in the capital for nearly twenty years and were already of adult age. They should have returned to their fathers' fiefdoms.

But there was a problem. The late emperor had just passed away, the war on the border was ongoing, and the two princes wanted to take this opportunity to go to Beijing to pay homage.

Who knows if they are waving flags of worship and want to go to Beijing to cause chaos or rebellion?

The hidden dangers in this regard are really worrying. Just for the matter of the prince going to Beijing to pay homage to the late emperor, Zhou Yichen summoned many of his confidants to the palace to discuss it.

Chu Xi was also Zhou Yichen's confidant. He was far away in Xi'an and could not return in time, so Zhou Yichen called Chu Wenbai into the palace as well.

He did not expect Chu Wenbai to come up with any useful suggestions, he just wanted to let others know that although Chu Wenbai was not in the capital, his respect for the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery remained unchanged.

The main purpose of Chu Wenbai sending this letter was to know Chu Jiang's current situation. With two generals from the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion and his old father out in the field, it was really hard for him not to worry about Chu Jiang's current situation!

If something unexpected happened in the capital again, it would not be a good thing for Qi Bai and his father who were fighting at the border.

Qi Bai is Zhou Yichen's confidant. If anyone else successfully rebelled and came to power, he would never easily leave himself such a strong and powerful enemy.

Chu Wenbai wrote this letter to remind Chu Xi to pay attention to the surroundings, as those princes and the seventh prince might attack him first.

He tried to cut off his arm. In this way, even if Zhou Yichen could temporarily secure the throne, he would no longer have someone as trusted and useful as Chu Jiang.

The higher one goes, the less likely one is to trust the people around him. Suspicion is not a shortcoming of those in a high position, but because there are dangers lurking around them, and it is hard to tell who is the spy.

Chu Xi couldn't take back the letter he had just sent, so he picked up his pen and wrote another one.

She explained some important things in this letter. Chu Wenbai's personality was moderate and honest. If he was born in an ordinary family in a peaceful and prosperous era, even if he could not rise to prominence, nothing big would happen to him.

It just so happens that Chu Wenbai is in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and is a person that Zhou Yichen values, so the existence of the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is a target.

The saying "oil cooking in a raging fire and brocade blooming with flowers" refers to the current Loyalty and Bravery Marquis Mansion.

Everyone had witnessed how much Zhou Yichen valued Chu Jiang when he was still a prince.

Even if Zhou Yichen restrained himself from now on and changed his attitude towards the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, others would never believe it.

What Chu Xi was worried about was that after he left, the original owner would die in the novel's plot.

By then, the inheritance of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion would be ruined, and it would all depend on Chu Wenbai to hold it up. Given his personality and Zhou Yichen's concern for the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, everyone would definitely respect him on the surface, but target and make things difficult for him secretly.

What Chu Xi instructed was very simple, which was to let Chu Wenbai choose a person from the clan who was honest and grateful to be adopted.

This clan does not necessarily have to be the Chu family. Chu Wenbai had been treated harshly by his uncles, so he could choose not to choose them. As long as the conditions are met, the Yun family, the mother clan of the Yun family, can also be chosen.

Who says that inheritance must be chosen from the male side?

If she unfortunately died in battle, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion would continue to follow the path of moderation, obeying their inner choices while not standing out too much.

The content of this letter can be summed up in two words - suicide note.

Tang Yuhuai caught the man and negotiated with Xi Chu. Negotiation was the most laborious thing, and he didn't have the patience, so he dragged Rong Qingzhu and Han Yaojun along.

My second uncle is still recovering from his injuries. The arrow shot him very seriously and he is still bedridden and cannot get out easily.

Rong Qingzhu happened to be a civil servant, so Tang Yuhuai drafted him into the army.

The people in Xichu who were responsible for negotiating with them were Qi Minsong, Qi Jianshu and others. Faced with the matter of redeeming a fool, it was like pinching one's nose and drinking night incense, which was really disgusting.

But there was no way, after all he was the Fifth Prince's cousin. If they didn't find a way to rescue him, who knows how embarrassed the Fifth Prince would be when he found out later.
